The question has been framed in the streets: is a government that impoverishes healthcare and nutrition, flouts the law, enriches its officials, imprisons babies, and kills its citizens worth the money it collects, much less the respect and obedience it demands?
Democrats have nothing to lose by shutting down the government to force the majority party to respond to these questions and the one that looms over all: what, if any, is the political and moral future of the US?
Didn’t Schumer already cave? Or did I misread a headline?
IIRC, he’s starting negotiations in the middle and is eager to give up even more.
Man, I wish Democrats were the heartless, scheming, cut-throat, socialist maniacs that I was told they were growing up in a Republican household…
The country would be in much better shape if it were true…
Here’s the thing, they are, possibly even better than republicans, they’re taking the same corporate pro israel bribe money, they just didn’t also align themselves with the insane neo Nazis, Christian terrorists, and loudmouth idiots.
You forgot the part where I said “socialist.” I don’t want them to be heartless and scheming if they’re not doing it for socialist reforms.
You are correct, I did in fact miss that. Shouldn’t be trying to be thoughtful while I’m in bed trying to sleep 😅
And hell yeah, the only reform is socialist reform. It’s unfortunate that the party is almost all corpo Dems, definitely needs more push from the left
Put in simple terms, Republicans are the sword. Democrats are the shield.
kudos for the PG rating on your comment. My mind usually goes to fluffers, dildos, and butt plugs when making such comparisons.
Amen
